Wall
Take two at publishing via wall.blot.im. When did this become a thing? Fascinating.
I Forgot About 1Writer
I also own 1Writer, which also plugs directly into Dropbox, and is, arguably, a better editor. It’s certainly a more fully-featured one. Yes, I own many text editors. It’s the curse of the tinkerer. I also forgot that you can pretend a file name with _ in Blot and it won’t publish it as a live post. I’ve done that with this entry, so ideally it will publish when I’m finished and ready - not when I’m just getting started.
Posting here using Byword
I’ve owned Byword for many years. I think it was the first Markdown editor I bought, for both iOS and macOS. I abandoned it a long time ago as well, as it seemed to pale in comparison with other Markdown editors. In looking for an easier way to post to Blot via Dropbox, however, Greg Moore suggested Byword. I’ve installed it here on my iPad, and it does connect neatly to Dropbox - bypassing the futzy iOS Files.
Micro.blog has been on fire the last few days. I’ve really enjoyed the interactions. Thanks everybody! 🔥 💯 🤚🏻
I do a weekly Australian National Basketball League (NBL) podcast, NBL Pocket Podcast. Today’s episode is out and I think it’s a particularly fun one. 🏀 🎙

Alfred on macOS seems to be much more dynamically developed than Launchbar. As a long-time Launchbar user I’m wondering if it’s time to invest in the Alfred PowerPack and retrain my fingers?
A question for the micro.bloggers: What is the website you most often visit, and why? Mine is probably ABC News - Australia because I’m old.
Unexpected events today:
- Credit card details stolen and $1,500 of fraudulent transactions incurred.
- Our 5-year old boy decided to wander off to fight criminals by himself. Eventually found, thanks to neighbourhood community and police.

I’m feeling the urge to add a bookmarks manager to my workflow. I already use Instapaper, but now I’m thinking about adding either Pinboard.in or Raindrop.io to the mix.

MailTrackerBlocker for Mail on macOS
Block tracking pixels in macOS Mail.app with MailTrackerBlocker for Mail on macOS: I generally use MailMate which has pixel blocking built-in, or Fastmail apps which also block tracking. But it’s good to have an option for Apple Mail as well.
Micro.blog Photo Challenge: Day 26: My ‘favourite’ sight of today. 📷
Always a great day when a new episode of @HemisphericViews podcasts drops. In Hemispheric Views 021: Ad Lib! we work without notes. And end up talking about restaurants, neck ties and Mars. It’s compelling!
